Zink Gets Involved

At John Zink Company's world headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, our success is driven by the core values that shape our culture - humility, integrity, respect for others and a passion for learning and producing. John Zink's business philosophy is centered around the power and creativity of the individual employee.

We seek to improve the quality of life in areas where we do business and where our employees live and work. It is our hope to make the world a better place to live, not only by providing superior products, but also by lending a hand to create a more viable society for ourselves and our neighbors.

Through community involvement and employee events, John Zink supports organizations that enable people to lead independent, productive and fulfilling lives. We've developed strong relationships with qualified, nonprofit organizations that empower individuals by promoting responsibility, tolerance and respect for others in our communities. Some core community and employee offerings follow.

Community Involvement

• More than 70 nonprofit organizations fall under the United Way umbrella. John Zink has served as a Trail Blazer company, helping raise the first million dollars prior to the Day of Caring campaign kick-off. We also participate in the Sand Blazer beach volleyball tournament and 5k run to raise additional funds for the United Way.
• At Christmas, John Zink sponsors the Salvation Army Angel Tree to benefit needy children and seniors within the community. Event participants sort food baskets and deliver gifts and meals to needy families.
• Employees provide live donations every quarter to the American Red Cross Blood Drive. The convenience of an on-site blood drive contributes to high employee participation.
• Our ongoing support of Big Brothers & Big Sisters makes a positive difference in children's lives, helping them achieve their highest potential. Employees mentor area children, participate in the annual "Bowl for Kids Sake" and provide direct financial support.
• To promote education in the community, our Tulsa office sponsors a VICA student each semester. A local high-school student is selected to work at the Tulsa office half a day, a few days of the week, gaining invaluable job and life experience.
• A number of employees participate in the American Heart Association's "Walk for Heart" and volunteer to serve meals to the homeless at the John 3:16 Mission.
